Pisgam: Literally Hashem's Word
The Pisgam:
Literally Hashem's word Yud Shvat 5772
And it is in this that an intellectual should contemplate, and awe and fear will befall him while studying Torah, when he will take to heart that it is literally Hashem's word that was told to Moshe at Sinai..
And this is what our sages have taught us, based on the fact that the verse "and you shall notify of them your children and grandchildren" is immediately followed by the verse "the day when you stood" etc. (before Hashem at Chorev), that just as at Chorev there was great awe and fear etc. so too here etc. (during Torah learning). For at mount Sinai all the nation saw the sounds and Hashem spoke with them face to face. However this is not the case when an individual studies Torah on his own. Rather the explanation is... that also the study of Torah of any individual, at any given time, is literally Hashem's word that was spoken to Moshe at Sinai. And it is through this that an awe and fear will fall upon him, as if he had received it today from mount Sinai.
